The problem may be a short on your line. (Have the local Teleco check your line.) If you have other phones, you may want to check them for dial tone(DT) when this happens. If you have no DT, your cordless may be the problem...unplug, and let charge overnight. If problem continues, replace the battery in cordless, or discontinue use.

When you select register on the base, you need to press and hold # on the phone... the instructions below worked for me, finally, to get the stupid waterproof handset registered. whew!

Registering the Handset

If you have purchased this accessory handset separately, it mustbe registered to the base before you can use it.

If the other base does not have an LCD display:• Disconnect the base AC adapter. Then press and hold[find hs] or [find] while you reconnect the adapter. Keeppressing [find hs] or [find] until the charge/in use LEDstarts to blink.

2) On the handset, press and hold [#] until the handset beeps and displays HANDSET REGISTERING.

3) When the handset finishes registering, it shows REGISTRATION COMPLETE in the display.

With the phone in standby, press MENU/SELECT on the base.
Move the cursor to select the Register Handset menu, and then press MENU/SELECT. Handset Registering will appear.
On the handset, press and hold # until the handset beeps and displays Handset Registering.

Note: If a handset has ever been registered to a base, reset the handset before you register it to a new base

We've had the same problem with our new Uniden phone. Sounds like someone's on the other line - no dial tone and answering machine doesn't work. The telephone line works though because we plugged our old phone in and it works fine. Any solutions anyone?

These DECT 6.0 phones work on 1.9 Ghz frequency and should not have any interference other than from another DECT 6.0 phone that can be within 150 ft of your phone. That means that somebody, a neighbor that has a DECT 6.0 phone close by is causing this problem. It also means that they are also getting these phantom phone rings. The best solution? Go to a 5.8 Ghz phone and your problem should go away.
